simple question: we just try to calculate the length of a lightyear. using int a = 300000 * // m/s — error ---- km/s 60*60 * // to km/h 24 * // day 365; // year But rounding error occurs Unclear why (I understand int is only up to 32000) So I’d like to ask: which data type I need to use…

Data type: very high integer

The result is 9 trillion kilometers so this could be the
issue

Do we have a longer integer data type
